Obviously, you need one. And NFDC has just the thing: Poster Mugs from all three seasons!
We’re not going to fill our coffers or pay for the next show with these mugs alone, but the idea was just too cool to pass up. We have three to choose from, one from each season. Each one features front and back the posters from that year’s shows.
So if you’re thirsty and needing somewhere to put your next tasty beverage, look no further.

The NFDC Box Office is open once again and ready to take your reservations for Romeo & Juliet, opening on September 19.

We’ve posted the fourth and final Cast Podcast for Midsummer at Georgia Podcast Network. In this episode (our 18th!) we hear from Steve Banks, Larry, Jr, Sara Papp and Zip Rampy.
NPR is doing a series about Shakespeare on Morning Edition. Today’s piece was about two actors’ whose rivalry sparked a riot in New York. The most interesting part of the discussion, however, centers on the history of Shakespeare in the US and how this event changed public consumption of Shakespeare. We’re really excited to hear the rest of the series; tomorrow they are apparently taking on the “Authorship Question.”

Auditions will be held on the property of Barrington Hall in Roswell, Georgia.

If you missed our production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream at Barrington Hall, this weekend offers two more opportunities. And best of all, we’re performing indoors. Come rain, come shine, come anything, we’ll be in Lawrenceville on Saturday and Sunday for a pair of encore Midsummer performances at Aurora Theatre. As one of eight companies participating in the first annual Gwinnett County Community Theatre Festival, North Fulton Drama Club is pleased to resurrect our fifth production … even if it is only for a single weekend.
Where will we be? The Aurora Theatre is in downtown Lawrenceville. There are two theatre spaces and we’re in the larger of the pair, the Strickland Family Stage.
So here’s what you do. Head over to the Aurora Theatre website and visit their virtual box office* (or just give them a call). Per-show tickets are $15 for adults, $12 for students. You have your choice of Saturday night at 8pm or Sunday afternoon at 1:30pm. We’d love to have a packed house for both shows, so tell your friends and neighbors.
In other news, we’re still collecting cast recordings for the two remaining cast podcasts for Midsummer. Also, as a little something extra, we’ll be posting the full-length audio from Midsummer’s outrageous show-within-the-show, A Tedious Brief Scene Of Young Pyramus And His Love Thisby. Think of it as our own brand of you-are-there radio theatre. And if that wasn’t enough, we’ll be holding auditions for our next show, Romeo & Juliet, in just under a month!
